0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

6/22/2017 - Review by: Eric Compton
Killer British traditional metal with powerhouse vocalist George Call
One of the finest, yet most under-rated singers, grasps the mic for NWOBHM vets Cloven Hoof. George Call (Aska, Omen) steps in with his charismatic vocals to enhance 'Who Mourns for the Morning Star'. The band have gotten heavier in their old age and is reminiscent of stout US vets like Helstar, complete with Call's superior vocal range taking it over the top. It's all produced top notch giving emphasis on vocals and strings – the gifts traditionalists live for. How come this band isn't huge?
Recommended for fans of: Aska, Omen, Helstar
